Re: Spartacus - Spartacus predates Game of Thrones by a full year. Giving credit where due! Andy Whitfield was such a great lead I had such trouble swapping that I've never seen most of the last two seasons.
Re: Yellowjackets - S1 great, S2 huh?, S3 just felt like a TV show - the wilderness suddenly felt like a set by production designers - no longer felt real or threatening at all. Same with the overly-designed costumes. I was never a big fan, nor did I care about the mystery, so I'm glad that show is ending with the next season. The actors are all great (Lynskey, Ricci are soooo fun to watch), but the material just felt bad weird this season. And Young Shauna and the daughter aren't great.
Re: exercise shows - I feel this completely. I've had good luck lately with two sitcoms at a time to get to 40 minutes, but they have to have the right pace (and no commercials!). I don't know if anyone here would vibe with it, but I rewatched Glee on the elliptical and greatly enjoyed it again - it's a fast-paced show in general and then obviously the musical numbers get you moving. It's also hysterical, insane, heartfelt and colorful.
